2018 Rd 2: Post Game Prattle: Carlton vs Gold Coast

[PaulP]

It's not down to SOS.
We are missing an entire cohort of 100 game players, players like Isaac Smith taken the pick after Watson, Talia taken the pick after Lucas, and just about everyone taken after Bootsma.
Our second and third rounders in those years were also wipe outs, so we are sadly lacking in experienced players who have been at the club 6 or 8 years who can form the nucleus of a successful team while also covering our woeful lack of depth.
It can't be fixed in two or three years, as supporters we need to suck it up and cut Bolton some slack.

It's an interesting point. The players from today around the 80-150 game mark :

Wright 139
Curnow 123
Jones 96
Cas 95
Mullet 86
O’Shea 81

Apart from Wright, the rest of those are simply ordinary footballers. And that for me is the far bigger problem.
